This is the third time I have stayed in Weavers Cottage. It a lovely comfortable home from home the only problem with it is the stairs not at all suitable for someone disabled. Lavenham is an interesting place to visit.

A great place to stay, very clean, modern, and the owners are very helpful, along with Basil the dog. Just perfect. We would be happy to stay again.

What a lovely cottage! It was comfortable and clean. The hosts were very helpful and accessible which made everything go smoothly. The location was central but quiet and having horses near was an added bonus. The local pub, The Queens Head, was delightful and the publican Steve made us feel like locals.

The Woodshed exceeded even our high expectations! A privilege to be able to wander through 250 acres of mixed woodland including an arboretum of exotic trees and shrubs and a secret water garden more beautiful than Giverny (Monet's garden). Surrounded by the green of our Woodshed's yew-walled garden and its clever foliage, backed by nearby tall deciduous trees, we spent most of our time in the courtyard of the property, or walking barefoot on the springy lawn and relaxing under its smaller trees. We lived outside! We took frequent exploratory walks through the woods and onto the racecourse...more

I recently spent five weeks in Box Cottage and experienced all the comforts of home. The cottage is very well equipped and extremely comfortable. The garden is lovely with good seating a place to relax at all times. A long stay which turned into a very enjoyable holiday. I will be back.

We have just spent a week at The Dove House, the second time we have so. This is excellent accommodation which would be hard to better in south Suffolk. A Lovely location at which to spend a relaxing time, but near enough to Ipswich and Sudbury if more facilities or shops are needed. Plenty of interesting places and pubs to visit are nearby. We feel any guests booking The Dove House for a relaxing Suffolk holiday will not be disappointed.

This is our fourth year in a row at this beautiful mill. Each time we always look forward to seeing buzzards, kites, deer,hares and plenty of butterflies. This year, wonderful weather meant we didn't spend much time indoors, although waking up in that comfortable bed and looking through the open stable door was heaven.

The Hayloft is extremely well presented, with a blend of the old, retro, new features and decor. The location is perfect for walks, sightseeing and discovering the local history. What made it extra special for me was the fact that i am a massive fan of the Lovejoy TV series from days gone past. to be able to stay in his workshop, in the grounds of Belchamp / Felsham Hall, was a dream come true. Would highly recommend a stay there. Thank you for making it part of a perfect experience.

Looking to book a small cosy cottage with wood burner and large comfortable beds in village location and Swans Nest met our needs. It also had a bathroom for each of the two bedrooms as, at the weekend, our two daughters came to stay, So quite unusual to have these facilities for a small cottage and it also had a downstairs loo off the kitchen. Although wanting a log burner to sit by in the evening we only lit it a couple of times as the sitting room upstairs was so comfortable with lovely views we sat here most evenings. The kitchen area is very small but quite adequate for us as we ate o...more

Very nice clean cottage but road was very busy and car parking was not easy. Also no village shop so had to travel a distance for buying food. We did enjoy our stay there but wish there had been more to do in the village..A welcome bottle of wine would have been nice as we have had this for shorter stays.

We were fortunate with the weather and had excellent days locally in Lavenham, Boxford, Long Melford and Sudbury itself. Further afield we visited Constable Country - Flatford and Dedham. We also had a very instructive day at Sutton Hoo. Although we live in Somerset, we had never visited this area before so it was all a real pleasure. Our Australian friends, with whom we shared the rental, also hugely enjoyed it all. The cottage was perfect for our needs. Just one small quibble - there seemed to have been a mix-up between cottages.com and our hosts (Alex and Alex) because they weren't ex...more

Our recent stay at The Tryst in Lavenham was nothing short of enchanting. From the moment we stepped through its ancient doorway, we were transported to a bygone era, yet enveloped in a comfort that made our rural getaway absolutely perfect. The Tryst itself is a magnificent example of Lavenham's incredible heritage. As one of the village's oldest homes, this Grade 1 Listed property showcases traditional mid-15th Century timber-framed architecture at its finest. Every corner reveals historic features, some even dating back to the Elizabethan age, allowing you to genuinely "step back into th...more

We enjoyed our stay at the Coach House. The orchard was very inviting and generally it was a great place to unwind. The bed was comfortable but in such a big room, why not have a king bed? There was attention to detail but a few things were missed: the telly command stopped working and we had to buy batteries for it, one of the frying pans was bent, rendering cooking with it impossible and the general bin had a mind of its own. We had to plead with it to open, it was temperamental. These are small things but one would expect the place to be spotless at all levels. Hence my mentioning these ...more
